Advent Reflection

From Anglican Mainstream.

Advent is an opportunity to look at our lives as a gift given and a gift to be given and turn away from those things that prevent us from being a gift of God to the world! In this holy season when there are many activities, many options  as to how to spen d your time, has there been consideration to use our time as the gift from God it is preparing for the things that matter to him as opposed to the demands of the season. John’s voice is one we try not to hear because it begs us to stop and think: “Have we acted wisely, have we made good choices?  Not everyone feels the joy at  this time of year!  There are those who suffer, feel excluded, unwanted and will spend Christmas day alone.  It isn’t always a Wonderful Life for them.  We who are Christ’s ambassadors on earth, who stand as a physical presence, his gift to the world today, can make a difference if we but PREPARE THE WAY by our hands, our words, our thoughts, prayers and intentions. So are you prepared?
